Governance

The role of Clerk is crucial for the Governing / Trust Board. In addition to ensuring that the Board is properly constituted and fulfilling its statutory requirements, a professional clerk will advise on a range of educational matters and ensure that the matters for discussion at board meetings are strategic and not operational. Having extensive, professional experience of clerking for a variety of educational settings (Maintained, Voluntary Aided, Voluntary Controlled, Academies, Free Schools, Multi-Academy Trusts, Selective etc), Goodman Training & Consultancy has the experience and expertise required to ensure each board is fully equipped to undertake their duties with confidence, knowing that their actions and discussions are well focussed and properly documented. Governance is a key area for Ofsted, having a clerk that understands the need for agendas and minutes to fully reflect school development and priorities is essential. Goodman Training & Consultancy will provide a direct contact to your clerk by telephone and e-mail, so advice and guidance can be provided as required.

Admissions & Appeals

Admissions Appeals Code February 2012 states "Admission authorities must arrange and fund up-to-date training for appeal panel members on any aspect felt to be relevant to the functioning of the panel."   Are your independent admission appeal panel members up to date with their training?   We offer a complete, professional and independent admission appeals management service. We have expertise and legal knowledge of admissions and admission appeals and have successfully run admission appeals hearings for many years.   Let our Clerks take the stress out of the appeals process. We can provide fully trained, independent panel members, an independent, professional clerk and even a presenting officer, if required. We can even help to produce a robust statement of case, which forms the school's basis for the appeals hearing.   Our vast experience in the admission field will ensure a smooth and fully compliant appeals process. Our training complies with the requirements of the Admission Appeal Code and will provide accredited CPD points for participants.

Positive Behaviour Support (RRN Approved and certified through the BILD-ACT and UKAS schemes)

Empowering Individuals and Transforming Lives through Positive Behaviour Support At Goodman Training & Consultancy, we are dedicated to promoting positive behaviour support to empower individuals and create thriving environments. With our expertise in behaviour management, we provide comprehensive training and consultancy services that foster positive change, enhance well-being, and maximise potential. “We do not use a specific acronym or name for the physical interventions aspects of the training, but it is equivalent to Positive Handling (a term often used in schools and education services), MAPA (managing aggression and potential aggression) and MOVA (management of violence and aggression).  However, we do not use pain compliance-based skills, nor any restraint that compromises the airway, breathing or circulation.  Our training is safe, ethical and always emphasises the importance of prevention and de-escalation.” In collaboration with Sherwood Training our team of experienced consultants and trainers are passionate about improving the lives of individuals, families, and organisations by promoting positive behaviours that reduce challenging behaviours and the use of restrictive restraints. We specialise in working with individuals with diverse needs, including neurodiverse individuals, those with developmental disabilities, mental health challenges, and other unique circumstances. At Goodman Training & Consultancy, we embrace a person-centred and evidence-based approach to Positive Behaviour Support. We believe that every individual has the potential to thrive in an environment that fosters respect, understanding, and growth. Our programs and services are designed to empower individuals, support their autonomy, and build positive relationships. We understand that each individual and organisation has unique needs and challenges. That's why we take the time to assess your specific requirements and design tailored solutions. Our collaborative approach ensures that our services are aligned with your goals, values, and desired outcomes.   Our Positive Behaviour Support and Physical Interventions courses are available at 3 levels.  We also offer a train-the-trainer option.
